    There are several good threads regarding HRM's. I personally use the Polar FT7. It's accurate, uses the band around my chest to measure heart rate and is easy to use.

    Edited to fix typo.

    I recommend Polar too, my wife has the FT7 and loves it's simplicty and reliability.

    I have the RCX5 for multisport and never had a problem.

    I also use the Polar FT4 and absolutely love it. The chest strap is comfortable, most days I don't even know that it is there.

    Timex Iron Man Road Trainer HRM. Easy to use and watch is water resistent. I had the FT7 but it was flimsy and had probelms with lost communication between chest strap and watch. I wasn't confident that the calorie estimation was accurate since it dropped comms a lot. The chest strap on the timex is much better, I have never observed comm loss, and estimated calorie burn seems accurate (as compared to similar workouts with the FT7 when it didn't lose connection).
